A responsible military source in the General Command of the Jordanian Armed Forces announced that air defense systems intercepted and shot down on Tuesday afternoon 3 Iranian missiles targeting the country's territory.

The source confirmed that the interception and downing process did not result in any human casualties or material damage, and that Royal Engineering Corps teams dealt with the sites of falling shrapnel and secured them according to established procedures.

He also pointed out that the Jordanian Armed Forces continue to monitor the country's airspace and maintain their readiness to deal with any threat to its security and sovereignty.

Neutralizing 5 Iranian drones

This came after the source earlier revealed that the Jordanian Armed Forces dealt, on Monday night and Tuesday morning, with 5 drones launched from Iran.

He explained that the drones were neutralized efficiently and accurately, according to the requirements of the operational situation and the defensive procedures in place, stressing that the operation did not result in any human casualties or material damage.

He also stressed that the armed forces continue to monitor the country's airspace, maintain operational readiness, and take necessary measures to deal with any aerial object that poses a threat to Jordan's security and the safety of its citizens, according to the established rules of engagement.

It is noteworthy that the interim agreement concluded last month to end the war between America and Iran collapsed on July 7, when Tehran targeted ships in the Strait of Hormuz, while the United States responded by carrying out airstrikes on Iran.

Since then, Tehran has announced the closure of the strait, while Washington has re-imposed its blockade on Iranian ports. Iran also targets Gulf states and Jordan.
